Game Day: Suns (9-16) @ Raptors (14-7), Tues 12/5/17

Post by Superbone »

Time: 5:30 pm AZ (4:30 pm PT / 7:30 pm ET)
Place: Air Canada Centre, Toronto, ON
TV: FSAZ/NBATV

The Suns battle a tough and experienced Raptors team in Toronto on the second night of a back to back after a nice win and superstar performance from Booker the night before in Philly. This will be a challenge for sure. Let's see what our guys have left in the tank. (No, not that tank.)

Go Suns!!!

Wooohooo, Stevie Nash n the Suns in Canada tonight so place should be buzzing :lol:

All jokes aside, I really would like a carryover of the defensive intensity as I know how white hott Devin can get but I don't really see us sustain effort on D so that was great. I saw someone post that Josh was the only player with a neg +/- last night but I think he was actually solid n very good D'ing up Simmons. Will like to see how he does against DeRozan tonight

35 is what Booker is averaging since he missed a game for the toe thing.

Josh's +/- is bad almost every game, and his offense is a big part of that. But I also want to point out that he plays with a lot of weird lineups. He is pretty much always on the court when Booker sits, sharing the court with Daniels and whoever is not on a roll that night. Hopefully, all those different lineups speed up his development.

Jackson is going to be fine. Just watch him play and you'll see things in his game that are going to develop. Advanced stats don't tell the whole story.

these last 4 games I have decided to tune in to the other team's commentary and Heinsohn was a surprise lol , Bulls guys r usually Ok also Philly but it was my first time listening to Pistons in a while. Devin been on a tear and we been fairly competitive and just about all of them have been raving about him, Raptors guys are usually kool so I expect more compliments tonight :D . hopefully more ooo's and aaah's tonight

I swear like 80% of the turnovers Ulis makes is when he forces it in to Booker. Like he is incapable of going with the second option or just reset the play to try and get Booker open.

I don't listen to the Raptors guys anymore. One game was enough.

5 minutes for James last night and Booker comes in at backup point tonight. Maybe we're just releasing him. Deadline is tomorrow.

Silly question: what’s up with these teams wearing road jerseys as their home jerseys?

They did away with home and road jerseys. Teams can wear whatever they want.

Booker 0-7 FG at the half. On the upside, he has 5r/4a/1s/1b/+1.
